Skies are expected to be clear this weekend for the peak of the annual Leonid Meteor Shower. This shower may result in around 15 visible meteors per hour under ideal viewing conditions. The Leonids are known for high-speed meteors that can travel at up to 44 miles per second.

Early morning hours are best to see meteors, as you're standing on the swath of the surface of the Earth that's turned forward in to the stream. Pinpoint meteors will occur near the shower radiant, while long streaks will stand out out in stark profile about 45 to 90 degrees away on either side of the radiant.
